Ohio Republicans Propose Designating June 14 as 'President Donald J. Trump Day'

Two Ohio state lawmakers suggested designating June 14 as President Donald J. Trump Day to honor the former president.

“Let’s show the 3,154,834 Ohio voters (a record and historic number of votes received for president in Ohio) who cast their ballot to re-elect Donald J. Trump that we as a legislature recognize the accomplishments of his administration, and that the Ohio House believes it is imperative we set aside a day to celebrate one of the greatest presidents in American history,” state Rep. Jon Cross (R-Kenton) and Reggie Stoltzfus (R-Paris Twp.) wrote in a memorandum to all House members.

The duo praised Trump, who accomplished many things that led America to unparalleled prosperity “against great odds.”

It’s unclear whether this suggestion will be adopted widely by the Republican-controlled state House. The Republicans hold a strong majority 64–35 over the Ohio Democratic Party in the Ohio House.

Ohio House Speaker Robert R. Cupp (R-Lima) didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times.

Who sold American flags with his portrait superimposed? Sure, why not.

What is it with Ohio? When I spent a week in Columbus in 2016 they seemed mostly sane...
